 I find colour theory quite interesting yet hard to grasp since saturation is very common in art and they could only be using two colours but it looks like they are using many different colours.
The tutorial that we watched was quite helpful because it explained the use of colour and how it was used plus contexts with examples and explanation with the examples.

I talked about each type of colour theory and how to use in context.

Saturation and value,
Is used to guide the viewer through an image or used as an "anchor".
Can be used to tell a story, and change the mood of the image.
Colour  Harmony,
Colour harmonies are used together to create visually pleasing images. This is when you match up the colours by the colour wheel, though you never use the colours evenly you use one as a major colour and spread the others out in an unevenly matter.

Monochromatic is the use of one colour and using the saturation to change the vibrancy of the colour.
example:

Analogous
This is when adjacent colours are used together, though one colour will be the primary colour used in the image.
example:

Complimentary colours,
opposing colours, do not use evening, make one the main colour of the image and have the other as a secondary colour.

Triadic Is the use of three colours. Triadic colours are chosen by using the adjacent colours but picking one of the two colours and using the colours either side of it and not the adjacent colour.

After viewing the videos and seeing the different ways of putting colour together affects the image. It is quite difficult to understand at first and now viewing an image I now can understand the use of saturation and why it is so important in painting.

Here are also some useful images that were provided in class to help further understand colour theory.

European Perspectives on New Zealand, post-colonisation European art movements that influenced colonial New Zealand artists Neoclassicism (1770-1830): the name given to quite distinct movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that draw upon Western classical art and culture (usually that of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome). ... The Enlightenment's emphasis on rationality in part fueled the classical focus. https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-history/monarchy-enlightenment/neo-classicism/v/david-oath-of-the-horatii-1784?modal=1 This video here is quite interesting the way they talk about the composition of the painting and how that was the main component.  European art movements that influenced New Zealand artists Romanticism (1800-1850): An artistic and intellectual movement originating in Europe and characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual's expression of emotion and imagi...
